Thirty to forty percent lower combined effort
Shared interviews, unified sampling of change tickets and access reviews, and one mapped control matrix reduce duplicate requests — especially across SOC 2 common criteria and ISO Annex A controls.
Integrated assurance
Multi-Framework Compliance in One Engagement
Stop running parallel audits that compete for the same engineers’ time. ABM coordinates evidence, fieldwork, and reporting across SOC, ISO, and sector frameworks — preserving independence while eliminating redundant motion.
Coordinated audits start with a single integrated risk assessment: what data you process, where it lives, which laws and contracts apply, and which frameworks genuinely add assurance value versus checkbox noise. From that baseline we build a unified control matrix — each control tagged with the frameworks it satisfies — so testing is purposeful instead of repetitive.
Fieldwork is sequenced to minimise disruption. Where SOC 2 requires six months of operating evidence and ISO surveillance expects sampled transactions from the same period, we align observation windows and evidence pulls. Reporting still reflects each standard’s required format and independence rules; coordination improves efficiency behind the opinions, not the integrity of them.
Why coordinate
Benefits your CFO and CISO will both recognise
Single point of contact
One engagement director owns timeline, findings, and remediation status across frameworks — so your engineering leads are not arbitrating conflicting auditor instructions.
Harmonised findings
Exceptions are written once with cross-framework impact explained — your steering committee sees one remediation plan, not three incompatible narratives.
Example bundles
Combinations we run most often
Every engagement is bespoke — these patterns illustrate how ABM threads multiple assurance outcomes through one programme.
SOC 2 + ISO 27001
The classic enterprise bundle: AICPA Trust Services Criteria and accredited ISMS certification for customers who want both a SOC report and a certificate number on file.
- Overlapping evidence on access, change, incidents, vendors
- Aligned system / scope descriptions
- Ideal for B2B SaaS expanding into EU procurement
SOC 2 + HIPAA + HITRUST
For healthtech platforms subject to BAAs and health-plan security programmes — one control story that feeds SOC examination, HIPAA safeguards evidence, and HITRUST maturity expectations.
- Shared PHI boundary workshops
- Coordinated penetration and logging evidence
- Reduced questionnaire fatigue for hospital IT reviewers
ISO 27001 + SOC 2 + PCI DSS
Payment-adjacent software with global customers: ISO certificate for management-system assurance, SOC 2 for US enterprise diligence, PCI for cardholder data environment scope.
- Segmentation testing aligned to PCI and SOC boundaries
- Single annual calendar for surveillance and Type II periods
- Executive reporting across all three frameworks
